Thank you for your interest in dog who needs a new home. Adoption can be one of the most fulfilling experiences in your life and especially in the life of your new canine companion.
A note to those looking at CPR. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. Our job is to find those someone's. Our most successful adopters come to CPR not because they want a dog. They come to us because they want to give a dog a home. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. While we like to know what you like in looks, a dog is more than a pretty face. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
Our descriptions contain all that we know about this dog today. We'll update as more information is known.
Are you looking to adopt within the next 30 days? If so please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and complete the application. You'll find it in the menu on the left hand side. You'll also find a total listing of all our dogs available.
Just browsing but interested in poodles and poodle mixes? Please drop a note to applications@carolinapoodlerescue.org with your name, address and phone # and email. We'll add you to our mailing list.
thanks
the CPR Adoption team
Animal ID 251302
Date into Rescue: 06/29/2024
Reason for being in rescue: Rocky was surrendered by his owners to a NC shelter. Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled him from the shelter
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Rocky is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.
Weight: 15.5 lbs
Height: 14 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $200
Fence needed? No, but he would enjoy one
What kind of home would be best for me? Mickey is ready to learn and grow. He's never known life without the companionship of other dogs, but would be okay as your best and only buddy if you have a solid plan for play and socialization. Rocky knows very little about basic training, but is eager to learn. We're looking for a home that will be committed to positive reinforcement training with this sweet prince. Rocky will be happy in an apartment or single family home, just don't leave him home alone all day with no company. He really wants to be where you are.
What is my personality like? Rocky and his 3 children were surrendered by their owners to a NC animal shelter. No reason was given. Maybe they were puppies that didn't sell. There was no mama dog with the family. Regardless, we are thankful they are with us.
Handsome Rocky has the deepest chocolate coloring and most soulful eyes. He's clearly a man that has seen a lot, full of wisdom beyond his years. Rocky is a gentleman among peers - confident, quiet and eager to please. He has a gentle demeanor that asks for someone to make him their prince.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly
Other tips and tidbits: Rocky is estimated at 6 years old. We celebrate his birthday 06/29/2018.
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
Please note - we do not ship dogs. If you are interested in adopting, please take a look at the distance between the foster home location and your location and make sure you are willing to make that trip. Most of our dogs are at our farm in Pacolet, South Carolina.
To apply, please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and visit the tab on the left that directions you to the online application.
Please note that when screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, color, age, etc. Others here may be a better fit for you. It is very difficult to get to know a living animal from a picture and a short description. Since we are constantly getting in new dogs, this may be a dog not in our listings yet. We want you to be very happy with your new companion and will make suggestions based on what you tell us about you.
Thank you for considering CPR.
